Thermal expansion
Table of Contents
The thermal expansion formula is:
$$ \Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T $$
Where
- \(\small \Delta L\) is the change in length,
- \(\small L_0\) is the initial length,
- \(\small \alpha\) is the coefficient of linear expansion, and
- \(\small \Delta T\) is the change in temperature in Kelvin.
